Author: Max Raputum, Warsaw
The answer of Temperance: “Yes”
Temperance is harmony and patience, so it leans to “yes” if you act gradually and without extremes.
What the answer depends on
The answer depends on pace: if you try to get the result fast or all at once, “yes” weakens.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “Maybe”. The reversed Temperance moves the answer towards “maybe”: there is imbalance or impatience, and a compromise is needed.
What to do next
Break the task into small stages and start with the simplest.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: Temperance in love is harmony, balance and gradual closeness. If the question is about work: Temperance at work is balance, cooperation and steady growth.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “balance” in my situation? Is the lack of “moderation” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “patience”?
